Winter is a season that demands extra attention when it comes to landscaping and grounds maintenance, and Alben has been hard at work ensuring our local spaces remain safe and beautiful.

Here’s a glimpse into our winter adventures and some insight into how we’ve been making a positive impact on the communities we serve.

Essential Winter Cutbacks

Towards the end of 2023, our dedicated grounds maintenance team was on a mission to perform essential winter cutbacks for South Ribble Borough Council. From meticulous pruning to the diligent task of clearing fallen leaves, we take pride in contributing to the ongoing beauty and health of our local green spaces. At Alben, we understand the importance of maintaining these areas year-round, ensuring they are ready to flourish when spring arrives.

Gearing Up for Winter Weather

As the winter chill settled in early January, the Alben team was busy preparing and maintaining our fleet of gritting vehicles. We understand the significance of being well-prepared for snow and ice, and our commitment to safety is unwavering. Our proactive approach ensures that when winter weather strikes, we are ready to respond promptly and effectively. Learn more about our gritting and snow clearance services by clicking here.

Gritting at St Michaels’ School in Chorley

The Alben team was recently spotted at St Michaels’ School in Chorley, where we took proactive measures to grit the premises in anticipation of icy weather. The safety of students, staff, and visitors is our top priority, and our gritting services play a crucial role in preventing accidents and ensuring a secure environment during winter conditions.

Gritting and Snow Clearance at Preston College

In January, Alben extended its winter services to Preston College, where our team was hard at work gritting and clearing snow. Our efficient and thorough approach ensures that educational institutions can continue their operations smoothly, even in challenging winter weather.

At Alben Landscapes, our commitment to excellence extends beyond the warmer months. Winter is a crucial time for grounds maintenance, and we take pride in our role in preserving the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces in the communities we serve.
